Thank you, it is fixed!!!
First of all, I really appreciate the responses on this problem. What I realized I did last night after going over the directions again is that I replaced the starter jets as well, which since the needle goes into them this would no longer block it and allow fuel to slip by, my bad. This was my first jetting job and I have learned from my mistake. I blame my fiance who was sitting in the garage with me which I really did appreciate while I did this even though she does not agree that it was her fault, still fun to blame her though.
After redoing this last night and taking it for a test ride, I still had a little backfiring and popping so I temporarily disabled the AIS system and I no longer have this problem. I am going to remove this the next chance I get.
